Cocaine Bear

Cocaine Bear will, in time, stand as a dated artifact of the current moment's vogue for viral animal videos and epic memes.

This is a movie that makes no apologies for trying to make you howl in laughter and disgust – at the same time.

Save yourself the price of admission and just watch the trailer if you haven’t already, or—better yet—make your own TikTok version. It’ll be funnier and will cost viewers a lot less time.

Why does the bear kill everyone it meets during its drug rampage except for the one person it decides to kidnap? Why don’t people with guns shoot the bear when they have the chance? Because the movie needs to happen, that’s why!

French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard allegedly said that all you needed for a good movie was “a girl and a gun.” If the movie is called “Cocaine Bear,” all you need is yayo and a clone of Yogi.

[It] acts like it’s above the clichés it’s stringing together.

This absurd but true story of a bear on the gear is as frantic - and boring - as a human on cocaine.

This riotous horror-comedy-thriller blends its genres seamlessly, making for a terrific, swift 95 minutes at the cinema stuffed with glorious gore and zinging comedy.

Despite the inconsistent writing, Cocaine Bear succeeds in giving you exactly what you want from a movie called Cocaine Bear.

The Universal Pictures produced comedy horror is silly and at times utterly ridiculous, yet anyone placing these qualities in a negative light is completely missing the point at how unbelievable the origin story actually is.
